Claims made by current & former employees/contractors, the city will provide a joint defense. By providing a joint legal defense, we save expense. We have to pay the expenses anyway. Filner has signed the waiver allowing San Diego to provide defense. Should Filner be found guilty, the city reserves the right to reimbursement.

Mr Filner's waiver allows him to hire outside legal council but at his own expense after the first $98,000.
